GIMP :: Merging / Fading Images Together And Other Things?
Jul 13, 2011
I've been playing around with Gimp and making some wallpapers and stuff recently. I'd really like to know how to do something like this: [URL]
It's really hard to explain what exactly I want to know, but I'd like to make something similar with a collage of smaller pictures that all sort of merge into each other like they do in the example. Questions:
- How do I get the backgrounds (of the whole thing, and each separate image) to just fade out/into each other so seamlessly?
- Is there a way to make a layer transparent in some parts but not in others?

So I'm trying to make a modified loading screen for a game (Homeworld 2 to be exact) but I'm not sure how to do this. You see the loading screen has a black background with a blue line in the shape of a hud, with the actual picture inside of it (Example, the loading bar is rendered dynamically and not part of the image). What I was thinking of doing, is erasing the inside, then copy & pasting the picture I want as a new layer over it, then cropping out the area outside the blue "hud" to give a black background with a internal picture. I was wondering if there would be a way to do that without overwriting the blue outline and having to do it manually.

I have a folder of images that need to be shown show one after another, like a slideshow.
Towards the end, the images will be shown shorter and shorter, so the sequence goeds fatser and faster.
Is there a quick and simple way of doing this in AE? Or Premiere for that matter?

Ive figured out how to scale images and remove their backgrounds, but when I go to paste them in a new location I lose their scaling.
What I'm trying to do is put multiple pictures (the items are scaled to actual size, which is important) onto a single 8.5 x 11 page.
So, I've taken some of my pictures, opened their files scaled them to where they need to be, and then removed the backgrounds. I saved that as a new file.
How would I then take those files and place them, with the scale I made them, into something that is this 8.5 x 11 page size.
When I try to do it now, it doesn't keep the scale.

I am having an issue with Gimp after taking a heart shaped transparent bg image and filling the transparent parts with a flame pattern, and adding new image objects as layers, every time I flatten the image or export the image to jpg, there is a noticeable white border around the heart! I DON'T want that!!! how can I export or flatten the image without?

I am working on a web page and want to have a photo fade to the background. I have done my masking and faded the image to transparency. I went to "save for web" and chose a .gif but when the final image is saved it reverts to a white background. The image still has a fade but with a white background behind it.
Im using CS.

What I am trying to do is, I have an image. I would like to fade the image edges into the background which is colored black. So in essence, I want the image to meld into the background which is black. How is this done. I tried so many things and I cant seem to get it right.
Every time I get close, to getting it right, my image fades somewhat using the gradient tool and a new opaque white layer but I get white and silver boxes on the edges of my image?

Imagine you have an image of a landscape, and you want to draw a dashed/dotted border line (such as between two countries) that goes far into the distance. Naturally, the dashes (and the spaces between them) will get smaller. The line probably isn't straight, either.

I'm a paleontology student and in my work I have to create reconstructions and pictures of fossils, most of them stippled (similar to URL..... I used to work with Gimp 2.6, using paintbrush fading set to 1 px (i.e. every click of a mouse making one, perfect dot). I'm using a mouse, because I find it more comfortable and precise than a graphic tablet. Unfortunately, after Gimp update to 2.8 the brush options changed, the brush fading ceased to work as it used to, and I can't find a way to turn it on (tweaking the dynamics settings would probably work for a tablet, but I find it useless for a mouse). I know there are some plugins for automatic stippling/halftoning, but unfortunately they are not what I want, as they obviously mix information about shape (shading) and color, while I need my pictures to show only the shape of the specimens. Is there any way to make the paintbrush fading work in Gimp 2.8 as it worked in Gimp 2.6?

I know how to "place" an image however, how do you place one that is supposed to lay on the outer layer of the orginal image.

I wanted to photograph a scene that had a very wide contrast range. The range was beyond the camera's ability to obtain proper exposure in the shadows without blowing out the bright areas of the scene.
I had read that Photoshop has a capability to combine one image that recorded good detail in the highlights, with a second exposure that captured detail in the midtones and shadows. So, I put my camera on a tripod and took the two exposures while maintaining the position of my camera.
Using PS CS2 and my Windows PC, I would like to merge the two images using a layer mask to selectively include only the properly exposed portions of the images. The problem is I can't get started. The initial two steps are evading me, despite consulting all of my CS2 text references. The steps are:
1. How do I get both images on the PS screen at the same time; and
2. The first image I open in PS creates a Background layer. How do I get the second image to be a layer just above the Background layer?

how to use Photoshop to some degree and there are all kinds of tricks out there... Well online I found images taken by an airplane in 1951 of the ground below it. They are shots of the county I currently live in. I was looking to merge some of the photographs together into bigger images. However when attemping to merge the original photographs together I've run into a roadblock. From what I can guess, the plane was flying at a different altitude and maybe a slight angle when it took each picture of the areas of the county. The images just wont line up. I attempt to rotate and skew the image but it just never seems right. I can get the rotation looking almost perfect but then some parts of the image look like its too big on one side and then too small on the other side. Its almost looks as if its been tilted on the "z-axis".

I have an A3 picture that I have scanned in 2 parts using my A4 scanner and would like to know to find the easiest way of stitching them together with PS. I am aware of Autostitch, but want to produce a high resolution TIFF image. I do need click by click instructions though as I'm still feeling my way along with PS!

I have an immediate need to overlay one image on top of another, blending the two -- like the effect you'd get if you double-exposed a film negative.
I have no idea how to to do this, and poking around the online help file isn't giving up quickly, any clues. Usually, when I poke around in Photoshop (6.0), I find it pretty undecipherable.

I have two layers , select them in the morph layers selection panel, and establish the selected points working the morph radius. But somehow the in between layers come out with some kind of transparency tween(fading away), and very little morphing is actually observable.

I'm trying to vectorize an Air Force emblem and I am using the pen tool to create the shapes... Now that I've got a million pieces... How do I merge them? I put them all in the same set to keep them organized and so that I could move them all at once... But I want to merge them to apply different blending modes to them all at once... Even if I can't merge them... Is there a way to create all of these blending modes at once?

I'm creating a large map from the thousands of small, 256x256 pixel maps from google maps. I have already written a script that downloaded all the images, and saved them with a name indicating where they ought to be on the map (say, 1-1.png is top, left hand corner).
I have to now piece all of these images together. There are about 1,800 images, so doing this by hand is a real pain (I actually have already done about 1/8th of the work, and it took 1.5 hours so far). So here's my question: is there a way in photoshop to automate this.
I know about droplets and batch things, etc. But I don't know how to make 'merge two images, with the second directly placed directly below the first in the new image.' If I knew how to do this, I could create ~60 columns with everything lined up.

I have to take the faces off some people and merge them onto the pictures of others.
In other words picture a has a picture of a person, cut his face out and transpose it on another persons body. I've used the resizing tool (as the images and heads are too large) but I can not seem to get it merge right into the other picture all kinds of "seams" or border lines around the head of person a when pasting it onto person b.

I am using Photoshop CS2 on Windows XP Professional.
I want to create an image from four monotone images to place in a document which will be printed. The overall appearance of the finished image will be monotone (a blue/grey colour) with the four images blending nicely with a relatively smooth transition.
I have created four monotone eps images. Then I have created a new file the size of the image I want to finish up with. This is a cmyk image so I can use the cmyk colour I want to use as a background for the images. I want the images to blend into this background.
I have filled the final image with the blue/grey background colour. I then placed each of the monotone images into the final image on its own layer, using the Free Transform tool to get them where I want them.
My problem is making them blend nicely into the background colour so it looks like one image - a montage or collage. I have achieved a result which is almost acceptable but I have spent a lot of time without too much progress.

I have photographed 19 individuals (full body shots, same lighting, same backdrop, etc.) and I am now trying to merge the individuals onto a background to create a group photo.
I can not grasp how I keep the individuals in proportion to each other. I am familiar with holding the shift key when transforming but how do I know that John is in proportion to Steve is in proportion to Mike etc. in the finished product?
I photographed the background with no one on it to use as the background for the group. I open each individual's photo and lasso their image and use the move tool to bring that image onto the background. But I get nervous and can't seem to get anyone to look in proportion and natural.
